According to Deepika Sharma, HoD Science at Silverline Prestige School, Ghaziabad The Class 10 Science board exam paper effectively assessed students' understanding through a well-balanced mix of competency-based and direct questions. The inclusion of application-based scenarios in various sections, particularly in the competency-focused questions, encouraged critical thinking and problem-solving skills, moving beyond rote memorization. The paper successfully minimized the emphasis on complex numerical calculations, allowing students to demonstrate their conceptual understanding of scientific principles. The division into five sections (A to E) provided a clear and organized structure, with a gradual increase in complexity from objective-type questions in Section A to detailed answer questions in Section E. The paper's overall design facilitated a comprehensive evaluation of student's knowledge and application of the syllabus, fostering a deeper understanding of scientific concepts rather than mere formulaic recall.
